Looks like a pretty relentless deck. I am always tempted by Red Aggro. May have a tinker around with something like this.

That is a fine looking deck you got there. +1 from me.
I thought it would come out of left field and catch a few folk by surprise. Should be fun to use.
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx May be a land to consider. Love the idea and great name for the deck. It's awesome.
Spear of Heliod could be decent, buff the weenies. Also a bit of psychological warfare due to the activated ability. 2W for you devotion too. Phantom General may be another consideration to buff your tokens.
Pit fight looks good to me. Will add to the SB, may not always need lifegain.
I'm just getting back into magic and have been searching for inspiration as I look to branch out from Standard and this deck...Oh my. It's like stumbling upon the Holy Grail. I love it and you have given me great inspiration to branch out into Legacy and Vintage. Thank you for sharing this archetype.
Looks very effective. Batwing Brume may be another card to consider with this deck.
Fabricate added, good call.
@s0rinmark0v: I do own exquisite blood, but I'm not a fan of infinite combo's in my decks. I don't think they are fun ways...also it's bad enough already if it is able to get going.
They are made for one and other. I had a Shirei deck years ago that worked wonderfully when I read the abilities for the Newt, Witch and Cauldron I just knew Shirei needed to get in on the action.
Ha Ha, glad you picked up on the unblockable on the Aetherlings, they are slippery critters. I would have strongly recommended that you kept them any way as a back up to shut down planeswalkers or any other particularly annoying card that you may cone across. I have recently come up against one called trading post. Someone playing U/W control in my group is running these to great effect.
It is indeed and with good reason. I have won plenty of games off the back of Corrupt. With you running plenty of land and sanguine bond. The moment you drop a corrupt should be game over.
Corrupt works wonders with Sanguine bond, it is a great finisher or can take out a big gribblie that you otherwise may not be able to handle. You play plenty of swamps so could work for you.
Mogis's Marauder, whip of Erbebos would love being in this deck.
Great addition, I went up against it the other day and it really did mess with my game plan. Your deck looks a lot stronger now.
Both in the SB. Will be able to get the Ratchet Bombs today easily. No one running lifebane zombies at my local store hopefully that means people have them and are open for trading them. Will mull over my deck and see where I could squeeze the zombies in. Thanks again for finding that glaring omission in my deck. I'm almost ashamed of myself lol.
I will SB them both for now and look into shuffling my MB. Much appreciated input.
Shred-Freaks are only in there because I owned them and I thought they fit the devotion theme nicely. I must admit they don't often hang around for too long to make a huge difference as I play them very aggressively. I can't believe Lifebane Zombie never entered my head and I play against G, W or G/W a lot. +1 for the advice. I don't think I'll need 4 though and I am prepared to drop all the Shred Freaks. Maybe 2 Lifebane 2 Ratchet Bomb? I have seen Ratchet Bomb played and it is a board wipe I currently don't have.
I have chopped and changed both ways, I even took it out once and the deck felt worse off for it. With Liliana churning out lands Corrupt has single handedly won me games. Because it deals damage and doesn't drain life it can deal with plainswalkers, creatures or my opponents. This deck is all about late game big hits on your opponents life total. It is costly mana wise, but I rarely struggle with mana. I think corrupt is one of the idiosyncracies of this deck and a lot of people don't see it coming. A lot of people think I only have the Merchants for the life bombs. Corrupt gives me a back up plan for board wipes. I often do sideboard it against aggro though.
